Summer starts at 7:09 EDT tonight. That makes today the longest day of the year (and probably the hottest, so far, though it’s supposed to be even hotter tomorrow) – clocking in at 15h 22m 08s here in my neck of the woods. It all turns to shit tomorrow, though, as we lose one second of daylight. Damn. I say we set the clocks ahead a few minutes to make up for it.
Hot, yeah. You may have heard that there’s a heat wave here in the Northeast. We’ve been asked to conserve energy, so we’re more or less sitting around in the dark around here. It’s quite romantic. I offered to shit off my computer and go home, but they wouldn’t go for it. I could expend a lot less energy by floating around in my pool right about now.
Oh well, at least it’s an early day. I’m not looking forward to seeing how hot the car is.
We celebrated the longest day here by welcoming the coolest day in a month (75 officially) but it’s all up hill starting tomorrow with 89 and then maybe another 100 degree day Friday :hot:
It was moist and cloudy most of the day which helped to keep the fire down up north and I think they made some progress. My sister from Kansas was going to come out in July to help out at a church camp west of Fort Collins but it’s mostly all burned out. It’s going to break my heart if this thing ends up around Red Feather Lakes- one of the most beautiful peaceful places in Colorado.
